Added DiffLines:

* Dr. Vink's [[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent accent]]. Clearly meant to establish him as an eccentric foreigner, it's obviously fake and can come off as obnoxious to viewers - especially if they recognize the actor from his other roles in the series, namely the first season episode "The Tale of Laughing in the Dark," where he was legitimately creepy.

Added DiffLines:

* The incredibly bad kid-acting in Episode 408, "The Tale of the Room For Rent", really undermines the dramatic Love-Conquers-All thing they had in mind...

*** In the same episode when the Big Bad little person enters through the front door on a bike the wind opens another door where we see a random person sitting there in the background (likely a assistant or helper for the show that wasn't meant to be seen).

''AreYouAfraidOfTheDark'' had some because of its cheap production values and inconsistent acting.

* Overall the show's bizarre names for some of the characters make the episodes unintentionally hilarious - Bostick, Dayday, Jam, Perch, Weegee etc. - especially when they're alongside more normal names like Greg, Kathy, Emma etc.

* It's hard to take an episode titled "The Tale of Jake the Snake" seriously. It's sounds more like the title of an educational preschool cartoon rather than a scary story. That or an episode about and starring [[Wrestling/JakeRoberts Jake "The Snake" Roberts]], which smacks of missed opportunity. The BigBad of said episode also looks ridiculous with his luminous teeth.

* "The Tale of the Final Wish" has Jill's mother getting annoyed about making herself late for school and mother for work...so she stops her in the hall to give her a big lecture about it. SkewedPriorities much?

* "The Tale of the Many Faces": When the two girls simply grab Madame Visage and she makes no attempt to break free, and they easily defeat her while she pathetically screams. So the girls have been working as slaves for her all this time and all they needed to do was simply hold her?

* "The Tale of the Chameleons". The ending. In theory, it plays {{The Bad Guy Wins}} trope [[UpToEleven to offensive levels]]. But in reality, the far-fetched plot premise [[CaptainObvious was an obvious excuse]] [[MakingUseOfTheTwin to guest star the Mowry twins]].

It looks like she unleashed [[SpecialEffectFailure a badly animated CGI.]] Also the "cursed statue from a remote jungle tribe" in that episode is a [[http://www.gargoylestore.com/cat2.html mass-produced ceramic lawn ornament that's widely available in home and garden stores across Canada.]] (A little less threatening when you see it's only 12 inches tall.)
** The vampire's death in the episode "The Tale of the Night Shift" was made hilarious because of his high-pitched girlish screaming and because the burning body falling off the side of the building was clearly a dummy.
